With the massive, and I do mean massive success that Still Alive had, and the positive reception for “Re: Your Brains” in Left 4 Dead 2, it seemed like a no-brainer that Jonathan Coulton was going to make another song for Portal 2.
Way back in March, at GDC 2010, Gabe did hint that Jonathan would return for Portal 2, stating that “Jonathan Coulton is awesome — he’s just brilliant; he’s a joy to work with”, but there has been no official confirmation.
Well, now we’ve heard it from Jonathan himself, on his blog:
I think they should release the song before the game.
I personally would vastly prefer it to be a surprise right up to the credits. Folks would be all like “oh my god oh my god song is starting”. Releasing it prior to the game would ruin that.
“Christmas is saved.”
Valve Time!
What gets me excited is “expect more on that soon”
